Displaying Your Bling

I survived my 5k this weekend, and had a great time! I promise to post a full report as soon as they post the official race pics. Until then, I've got a review for you!

As I've mentioned before, I'm a big fan of running bling. It's a physical reminder of the miles you put in and the fun experience you had. Every time I see my medals I feel a little sense of pride remembering what they mean. So, obviously you need a great place to store your bling where you can really put your accomplishments on display, right??

I won a huge giveaway at Running With Sass, and one of the awesome prizes was a Sport Hooks medal display. I had been looking for a display like this anyways, so I couldn't wait to get my prize in the mail. Sport Hooks displays were created by a marathon runner who wanted a cute functional way to display her bling. The displays come in various sizes (1 hook, 5 hook, and 10 hook) and styles, so that you are sure to find one that fits you're personality. If not, they also make custom displays! One of my mantras is "Breathe and Believe" so I chose a display that says "BELIEVE". Here's what it looks like:

This pic doesn't do it justice at all, but trust me it's really cute. And once I get my bf to hang it for real and get rid of the tacky push pins I'm using instead it will be even cuter! haha. What I like most about the display (vs other options) is that you can expand it as well. Sport Hooks sells extra bars to put underneath with extra hooks. That'll be great since I've already managed to fill this one. Seriously, go check out their site, because I love my display and I know you will too!
